A NIGHT IN AVIGNON
Scene: A room in the chambers of Petrarca at Avignon. It opens on a loggia overlooking, on higher ground, the spired church of Santa Clara and the gray cloisters of a Carthusian monastery. Beyond lie the city walls under glamour of the blue Provençal night.

A door on the left leads to other rooms, and an arrased one opposite, down to the street. Bookshelves and a writing-desk strewn with a lute and writings are also on the left; a crimson couch is in the centre; and garlands of myrtle and laurel deck the wine-table.

Gherardo. Virtue bids you.
Petrarca. Vainly!

Went from me on mad wings.
Two years this April morning
Since it fell fluttering before her feet ...
As she stood there beside our blessed Lady,
